San Antonio TEXAS




Well,, the snow finally melted and the roads cleared so we thought we might hit the road again.
This time to San Antonio.

Why San Antonio?

Well, Chyna wanted to go to a photography convention that is being held Friday- Sunday at the San Antonio Convention center and I wanted to get back on the road to somewhere so off we went.

We stayed the night last night in the Holliday Inn Express - Downtown San Antonio.
We arrived around 8:30pm. Just enough time to put our stuff in the room and head out downtown along the riverfront for Dinner. (It seems these days - or at least for the last few weeks- everything is focused around where are we going to sleep and where\ when do we eat?)

San Antonio - from what I can see from the room - has some real quaintness to it. For starters, the Alamo is here. Most of the buildings downtown are tarnished with age. In fact the hotel were in is actually a historical land mark. Though i have to admit that I have not yet taken the time to read up as to why. Ive just seen that it is designated so by the plaquer in the front entry.

I suppose its time to get out and see what there is to see..
But before i go,, i should post a couple of pics.

Regarding the pictures you see: the first one is a view from the horse barn on the ranch right before we hit the road. If you look close you can see the ranch house in the distance. (A Quad Runner would be really fun out here). The second is from a night we all went to dinner in Plano TX. Its me with 2 of Schuyler's kids. Marin (she is 6) and Carter (he is 8).
Chyna and i had a great time playing with the kids.. Now if someone could just tell me how to get them to settle down after winding them up.

Where is the off switch?
